Joseph Duggar and his wife, Kendra, secretly welcomed a fourth child in 2022, a year after the duo mysteriously took their growing family off social media, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The duo once proudly showed off their three young kids on Instagram, but now, the photos that remain have been flooded with support for Kendra and the children following Joseph’s shocking arrest amid allegations that he molested a minor child.
Joseph and Kendra Duggar Never Publicly Announced 4th Pregnancy
Joseph and Kendra married in 2017 after a short courtship.
They welcomed their first child, son Garrett, in 2018, followed by daughter Addison in 2019. The couple proudly introduced their newborn daughter, Brooklyn Praise Duggar, in a February 23, 2021, Instagram post, but never returned to announce the birth of their son, Justus, in the late spring of 2022.
The duo went ultra-secretive after their final Instagram post in November 2021, which celebrated Addison’s second birthday. The sweet share came one month before Joseph’s older brother, Josh, was found guilty on two child-porn-related charges in December 2021 and later sentenced to 12 years in federal prison.
Even the main Duggar family homepage has not yet updated Joseph’s biography to reflect that he’s now a father-of-four, which is highly odd, considering how they love to celebrate the birth of new children into the lineage.
Kendra Duggar’s Grandmother’s Obituary Revealed Baby’s Name
The only reason fans know about Justus is that eagle-eyed viewers spotted Kendra with a growing baby boy in a July 4, 2023, YouTube video that Joseph’s sister, Jinger Duggar Vuolo, shared.
Various other clues online pointed to the baby arriving around June 2022.
The little boy’s name was later uncovered in a June 2023 obituary for Kendra’s grandmother, Peggy Ann Caldwell, which said she left behind “her great-grandchildren Garrett, Addison, Brooklyn and Justus.”
